Lambdoc

About Lambdoc

Lambdoc is a library providing support for semantically rich documents in web applications,
built with Ocsigen/Eliom integration in mind. It includes
parsers for four different markup languages: Lambtex,
Lambwiki, Lambxml, and Markdown (via
OMD). The library also includes the possibility
of outputing any Lambdoc document as an Ocsigen (Tyxml) HTML5 value.

Additional capabilities include the runtime customisation of available document features
(you may, for example, declare that a certain class of users is only allowed to produce
documents containing nothing more than paragraphs of plain text), detailed error
messages, and the definition of basic macros. Particularly of note is a powerful
extension mechanism that allows the definition of custom commands tailored to a
particular application. It also ships with lambcmd, a CLI application
that allows the conversion between any of the input formats into one of the supported
output targets.
